Ingredient Benefits:

Antioxidants:

Grapeseed Extract -- Grapeseed extract is the main ingredient in Perrin's Blend, and is in most of our other products. We use a very fine grapeseed extract powder. Grapeseed extract is a natural source of OPCs known as flavonoids. OPCs are 20 to 50 times more powerful than vitamin C and E in terms of bioavailable antioxidant activity. It also increases the effectiveness of vitamin C. Grapeseed extract contains chemicals known as polyphenols, (including the subclass of proanthocyanidins), which are recongnized to be effective polyphenol antioxidants. One of the polyphenols in grapeseed extract is is resveratrol. Resveratrol is a photoalexin produced natually by several plants when under attack by bacteria or fungi. Phytoalixins are antibacterial and anti-fungal chemicals produced by chemical synthesis. Resveratrol is found on the skin of grapes but also in the seeds. In laboratory studies resveratrol has appeared to interfere with cancer cell growth and division and causes some cancer cells to disintegrate at a faster rate than they normally would. Resveratrol may block enzymes that prolong the the sruvival of several cancer cell types including skin cancer. As a result tumors may either stop growing or actually shrink because many of the cancer cells die.

In some studies injuries to skin may have healed better when grapeseed extract was applied. Thorugh several possible effects that include promoting the regrowth of connective tissues, grapeseed extract is believed to encourage faster, stronger healing with less scarring.

Basically, research has suggested that properties in grapeseed extract may protect against skin cancer and benefit over all health of skin.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (or NAC)- NAC is a sulfur containing amino acid that is needed to produce the free radical fighter glutathione and maintain it at adequate levels in cells. It helps to detoxify the body of chemicals and other poisons and slows the aging process. Studies have shown that NAC can play a role in the reduction of cancer cells.
Alpha Lipoic Acid - Alpha lipoic acid has shown time and again in clinical trials to be successful for protecting cells from free-radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules caused from normal situations like metabolism to unhealthy activities like smoking, and are a major culprit of wrinkling and the loss of firmness associated with normal aging. Studies also suggest alpha lipoic acid may benefit skin cells and therefore improve skin texture and wrinkles.

Vitamins:

E -- Vitamin E is an antioxidant that research has shown to have a variety of benefits for the skin. Studies have shown vitamin E may help decrease the effects if psoriasis and erythema, in the reduction of stretch marks, in the reduction of scarring from wounds, and it may help to reduce the risk of skin cancer. A study from Duke University concluded that "Appreciable photoprotection can be obtained from the combination of topical vitamins C and E. We suggest that these natural products may protect against skin cancer and photoaging".
C -- Vitamin C is one of the most common antioxidants. It recharges other antioxidants like vitamin E. It helps prevent premature aging and is is required for the synthesis of collagen in the skin. Collagen can be seen as the foundation of healthy and young looking skin. Collagen is the main protein of connective tissue in humans making up about 25% of the total protein content. A study from Duke University concluded that "Appreciable photoprotection can be obtained from the combination of topical vitamins C and E. We suggest that these natural products may protect against skin cancer and photoaging".
Biotin-- Biotin is a B vitamin that is needed for healthy skin and hair.

Oils:

Grapeseed oil -- Light, odorless oil, derived from the seeds of Italian grapes with mild astringent properties that prevent it from clogging pores. It gives a silky feel to the skin that can soothe away dryness and irritation.
Castor oil -- A pure, natural emollient that softens and nourishes skin, gives relief to join and muscle pain, and is therapeutic in massages.
Peppermint oil -- Peppermint is a natural source of menthol. Studies have shown that topical application of peppermint stimulates the nerves that detect cold, leading to the cooling sensation. The nerves that perceive pain and itching are depressed. This leads to the dialation of the blood vessels, which can promote healing.
Lemon oil -- Lemon oil is used in natural skin care to cleanse, tone and refresh skin. Lemon oil tightens puffy skin, reduces enlarged pores and helps disperse pockets of accumulated fluid and impurities.
Soy oil -- Soy oil is a natural source of lecithin, sterolins, and vitamin E.

Liquids:

Pure aloe vera gel -- Aloe vera has been used since ancient times because of its benefits for dry and cracked skin, burns, blisters, frostbite, insect bites, and allergic reactions.
Pure Raw Honey purchased directly from a honey farm -- Honey has antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

Herbs:

Cloves -- Cloves are a natural antiseptic that aid in the healing of wounds. Studies have shown that the oil in cloves can help kill several strains of staphylococcus and pseudomonas-organisms that can cause skin infections.
